Shock Twist Revealed! Newcastle Break Silence on Eddie Howe Sack Rumours – Fans Won’t Believe Their Decision

Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United produced a statement performance in Europe with a commanding 3-0 victory over Benfica, extending their unbeaten Champions League run to three matches — two wins and a draw.

The win reinforced their continental pedigree, yet it also highlighted the contrasting story of their Premier League campaign, where form has been far less convincing.

Domestically, Newcastle have won only two of their opening eight league fixtures this season, prompting growing concern among supporters and pundits alike.

Their struggles away from home have been particularly worrying; the Magpies have not celebrated a Premier League win on the road since April, when they beat Leicester City 3-0 — a side that was later relegated.

These mixed results have naturally invited scrutiny of Howe’s leadership and the consistency of several senior players.

Speculation has circulated regarding his long-term position, especially as expectations continue to rise following last season’s top-four finish and Champions League qualification.

However, according to Football Insider, Newcastle’s board remains firmly behind Howe.

Former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown revealed on October 20 that questions had been raised internally about the manager, but clarified that Howe is not under immediate threat of dismissal.

On the Inside Track podcast, it was explained that despite a stuttering domestic start, the club’s hierarchy believes the 46-year-old deserves time to steady the ship.

“It’s been a bit of a stop-start beginning for Newcastle in the Premier League,” the insider noted.

“They’ve only managed two wins from eight games, but they were unlucky in several — particularly against Liverpool and Arsenal.

There’s no denying their Champions League form has been far superior.

The summer brought disruptions, including uncertainty over Alexander Isak and late transfer activity involving Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa.

But Howe guided Newcastle into Europe last year, and once these new players settle, results should improve. On their day, they remain one of the top sides in England.”

Former Arsenal and England forward Theo Walcott recently suggested that Newcastle might eventually consider moving on from Howe, arguing that managing a larger, more ambitious squad presents new challenges.

Nonetheless, most insiders insist the club remains patient, attributing early-season struggles to factors beyond the manager’s control.

The true source of Newcastle’s inconsistency appears rooted in a turbulent summer window. Isak’s unexpected move to Liverpool disrupted preparations, forcing the Magpies to scramble for replacements late on.

Several signings — including Tino Livramento, Lewis Hall, and Wissa — have also battled fitness issues, limiting their impact and leaving gaps in key areas of the pitch.

Sources indicate that the combination of injury setbacks, unsettled newcomers, and post-transfer turbulence has been the primary cause of their sluggish domestic form.

Within St James’ Park, the belief persists that Howe remains the right man to steer Newcastle forward, with confidence high that the team will soon rediscover its Premier League rhythm and climb back up the table.
